    Liev Schreiber enjoyed "the most profound moment" with his transgender daughter Kai when she asked her family to change her pronouns

    The actor is father to 16-year-old model Kai with his ex Naomi Watts and he's revealed it didn't "feel like that big of a deal" to him when she asked for the change but it was a "profound" step


    He told Variety: "Kai was always who Kai is. But I suppose the most profound moment was her asking us to change her pronouns. To be honest with you, it didn't feel like that big of a deal to me only because Kai had been so feminine for so long."

    Schreiber added of his daughter: "Kai is such a fighter. It's important that she goes, 'Hey, I am trans,' and, 'Look at me'."

    Kai is due to join her famous father at a fundraiser in New York City on Friday night (09.05.25) to raise money for the Ali Forney Center - a charity which provides housing and support for homeless LGBTQ youth - and Schreiber admits it's important to support the community.

    He said: "This isn't just about representing the trans community. This is actually a community of people who don't have great resources, who don't have access to help, who aren't being protected and looked after by their families.

    "These are people who are being rejected. These are people who are experiencing the harshest version of humanity that we can offer, and some of them are not surviving it.

    "We got to bear that in mind when we go out there and glam ourselves up and get ready to be seen, you know? That what we're doing is actually raising money for a community that desperately needs it."
